Greetings, for
readers wherever you are. We have long wanted to share and promote the arts and
culture in Indonesia generally and Art speak a language of Minangkabau in
particular. Thanks to the availability of this blogger platform by Google, so
now we can be more flexible to promote the arts, culture, and customs of our
international world. Hopefully the wealth of art and culture in the area we can
better known in the international public.
Only here may be a
higher priority in the Minangkabau culture besides that we also will try to
share another characteristic of his culture in Indonesia as we know it as Malay
culture, Sundanese, Javanese and so on.
If the Minangkabau
quite a lot of arts and culture heritage of the ancestors earlier as we
explained one by one below, from art to communicate or speak a word.
Pasambahan,
Pasambahan is
a skill that shows the art of speaking and order to communicate between each
other like a dinner speech at the session, Speech Batagak Panghulu or Menlantik
penghoeloe speech weddings and so on. All that the scholars were competing speak
a language., So that event so interesting spectacle.
Pituah,
Wisdom is a proverb
or useful advice, but her way of expressing subtle way and indirectly. Even a
saying or proverb from Minangkabau now widely applied to the National proverb
in Indonesia.
Rhymes,
Poem is language
arts that highlight the intelligence and wealth of art speak. The poem is
composed of 2 to 4 lines of the first half in each stanza and 2 to 4 lines of
the second half of each bainya also containing the pattern AB AB. But the poem
is in Minangkabau generally the first half of each stanza is a reflection of
the second half of each stanza. That is, the first AB AB related to the latter.
This poem is also rife in the lyrics of the song or the Minangkabau region of
West Sumatra.
Gurindam
Gurindam almost
exactly with Pantun above, except that the couplets are usually longer than
rhyme.
That is some kind of
art in speech and spoken word which is owned by the Minangkabau culture that
characterizes itself.
Respectfully.
